Chap 98: THE CLEAR PROOF, EVIDENCE (98:0) Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,- (98:1) An apostle from God, rehearsing scriptures kept pure and holy: (98:2) Wherein are laws (or decrees) right and straight (98:3) Nor did the People of the Book make schisms, until after there came to them Clear Evidence (98:4) And they have been commanded no more than this: To worship God, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practise regular charity; and that is the Religion Right and Straight (98:5) Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures (98:6) Those who have faith and do righteous deeds,- they are the best of creatures (98:7) Their reward is with God: Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; God well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher
(98:8)
